Steamer Lost on Lake Superior.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. S.-A special to The
Sentinel from Marquette, Mich, says
Word has just been received of the found
ering of. the schooner Niagara, consort OF
thG 80: amer Raleigh, six miles northeast of
White Fish Point, Lake Superior, yester
day. She was commanded by Capts,5
Clements and was ore Iadened from Ash
iand to Ashtabula. Ter crew of ven men
were lost, and the captains family is also
reported to have been aboard. The Niagara
belonged to the same town ss the schooner
Lucerne, which was lost last November off
Ashland with eleven lives. She was owned
by Mr. Corr,gan of Cleveland. Captain
DeLos Wctte, of the steamer Idaho, just
arrived, reports passing the wreck of the
Niagara at 11:30 a. m. today. She lies In
one fathom of water, ten miles this side of
White Fish pointand five miles from shore.
Her miZZen mast Just reaches above water
and her main and foremasts are
floating near by with other pieces
of wreckage. Capt. Waite saw no traces
of any of her Inflated crew and states that
though not many miles from shore and the
White Fish Point life saving station, no
small boat could have lived in the terrible
sea which was running there Wednesday.
The United Empire arrived at the Sault
during the day and reported that
Ii was the worst storm ever experienced
and when the Idaho came up it was still
running high. Capt. Waite thinks that In
addition to the crew Of the Niagara there
were number of ladies aboard 6f he-. All
must have perished; between thirt6ea. and
tifteeh souls The Niagara was in TIE tow
Of Australasia this year, not the Raleigh as
last year. The gale was one of the worst
on the lake for years, the wind reaching a
velocity of sixty miles an hour. The
George Sherman is safe behind White Fish
Point, though fear was felt as to her safety.
There Is no way of ascertaining the names
IF the lost tonight.

Escape of a Murderer

WHEELING, w. Va, Sept S.-A r,rjvatf
telegram received In this city this morning
announces that Elmer Clark, TIE murderer
of Willie O'Neal, a well krQyJn citizen of
this city, had effected hts escape from the
Weston Asylum last afght, where he was
sent some weeks aso by the superintend-
ent Of the Mound3vllle penitentiary under
the belief that ac was insane. The crime
for which C9aFk was sent up was com.
mitted IL The latter part of February
last at Elm Grove, five miles from this city,
The murderer was convicted at the JuT e
term Of the circuit court and was sent to
Mo1ndsville for nine years. Before he had
heel In the penitentirry week Clark be-
gan to play the insanity dodge and two
weeks after his incarceration he made sen
sational attempt at suicide by plunging
head foremost from the upper tier of cells
at the prison to the stone tagging. 80 feet
below. Clark was at the time thought to
be fatally hurt, but it was subsequent
ly discovered that he had escaped
with few severe bruises. Afterhis aerial
flight Clark acted so queerly that the prison
officials thought his reason was unsettled,
and, acting on the advice of physicians,
had him taken to Weston for treatment.
1t was learned today that the physician at
the asylum, after careful treatment Of
Clark, had pronounced him sane and made
preparations to have him taken back to the
penitentiary. Their intentions doubtless
reached the ears of Clark, who made bold
and successful break for liberty, and is
now at large

UNCONVENTIONAL PEOPLE.
From the Boston Courier.

From the Boston Courier.
Everybody has encountered the people
who take to themselves what they suppose
to be the credit of being unconventional;
who offer statement Of that fact rs the
sufficient excuse for all sorts Of violations
of good breeding and social rules, and who
assume the license to do as they please as if
they had the power to raise themselves
above the authority Of ordinary canons of
behavior. Such feat is not who'll, unlike
that of the man who has become proverbi
ally famous by his frantic endeavors to
lift himself over the fence by his boot
straps. 1t is pity that these foolishly
self blinded and for the most part decided
ly unpleasant people can not be made to
see their conduct in Its true aspect.
1t should not be forgotten that society is,
In sense in an artificial state. Whatever
general natural principles underlie it, its
formulated rules are arbitrary, and it is.
In effect conventional arrangement. 1t
follows that one who wishes to take part
In its social life must accept its conditions.
To attempt to be unconventional In society
is an anomaly and contradiction OF terms.
Ii one desires to be unconventional. let him
put himself under unconventional condi
tions, or In other words, join himself to
those who are not hampered by the con-
ventions he effects to despise. Be surely
has no right to enjoy himself at the ex
pense of those whose sacrifices to these ar
bitrary rules he refuses to acknowledge
make possible the condition Of things he
finds most congenial and enjoyable. The
people who declare themselves ''unconven.
tional, you know, are apt to be the last
persons who can endure like quality in
others. They expect the rest of The world
TO treat their frank selfishness with con
ventional forbearance.
AS matter of practical fact, unconven-
tionality as urged and practiced by these
people Is merely form of Ill breeding and
egotism, intolerable and selfish. In So
ciety where others are sufficiently well
trained and polite to overlook these lido
syncracies they are able to live
In some comfort, but once they
are brought in contact with their own
kind clash is inevitable, and they are
sufficiently ready to pronounce their own
sentence by declaring these obno xious in
dividuals to be unendurable box rs. II
they could but be brought to see that the
same epithet Is the only one TO be justly
applied TO themselves something would be
gained, for of all the plaques which infest
society, few are so absolutely inexcusable
and thoroughly irritating as the people who
pride themselves upon being unconven-
tional.
